C101

The last Demonic cultivator to visit was a python that resided at the bottom of the Yellow River. Ling Yan had a deep impression of that python. Because he did not have a body, that hundred-meter-long snake body's cultivation level was equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of Soul Division. Seeing that Ling Yan's cultivation level was unfathomable, he proposed to exchange pointers with Ling Yan, and Ling Yan did not hesitate to agree.

Under the premise that Ling Yan did not use primeval essence in the core, Gu Gou barely managed to fight Ling Yan to a standstill. Relying on the tyrannical body of the demonic cultivator, he even managed to gain the upper hand, but Ling Yan was unable to do anything about it; Ling Yan also had the intention to test his own cultivation level, and was always suppressing the moving azure silk primeval essence in the core.

One man and one snake, suppressing their overflowing imposing aura, caused the world to turn upside down in the deep mountains. When they finally met force with force, Ling Yan felt his chest tighten as a "ying" sound suddenly rang out in midair! There was a long cry, and then, "Boom!" With a loud sound, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket streaked across the sky. After the lightning bolt passed, the sky suddenly darkened.

Ling Yan raised his head to look at the sky, and although he was surprised by the thunder, he did not take it to heart. He only felt that the first cry was a little familiar, as if he had heard it there, and while he was thinking, he unintentionally turned his head to find that the giant snake over a hundred meters long had coiled itself into a small hill, on top of the 'mountain', its huge head was facing the sky.

Ling Yan floated in midair, and could clearly see that those giant eyes of his were filled with fear. Looking up, he saw that a huge, curved, half-moon object had unknowingly appeared in the air. This half-moon object was a kind of crystal white color with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, and it emitted a faint, pure white light as it slowly rotated in the air a few hundred meters above the ground.

This kind of oppressive power actually made Ling Yan feel as if he was dominating the world. This feeling was very strange, as if the giant half-moon object in the sky was one with him, as if there was a telepathic connection between their minds. He was slightly stunned, then understood that this round of the half moon was the crescent moon in his body that he had obtained from the bear, because there was no trace of the small crescent moon in his Zifu.

A few days later, Ling Yan unintentionally discovered that the crescent moon had already appeared in his body. He asked Ji Xiaoqian about Ji Xiaoqian, and Ji Xiaoqian told him that the crescent moon had returned to Ling Yan's body not long after she had obtained the jade talisman. She wanted to remind Ling Yan of this, but seeing Ling Yan's focused expression when he was making the jade talisman, she decided against it, but later on, she also forgot about it.

As for the intelligence of the crescent moon, Ling Yan didn't have the slightest doubt about it. However, the scene before him made him a little confused. Ling Yan could tell that the slowly rotating crescent moon was real and not illusory.

The tools in the cultivation world were generally divided into several levels: the lowest level was generally called a treasure, and the treasure was a type that had been strengthened by magic power. It only formed a type of protective true essence around the surface of the body and had the ability to repel ghosts, but it was made of ordinary materials and was only slightly more powerful than ordinary swords and sabers.

The material was refined by True Fire, and the quality of the material was far greater than that of the artifact. When the tool was refined, it could also be placed into some simple formations, and the refined tool already possessed the rudiments of a spirit artifact. It could move about in the air as the wielder wished, but it could not be absorbed into the body; the material was a spirit artifact that was one level higher than the spirit artifact, and the refined spirit artifact was not something that an ordinary person could refine.

Zhao Yu had studied weapons refinement for hundreds of years, and the only weapons he was able to refine now were high-grade Magic Treasures. Refining spirit weapons required a lot of attention, the first requirement was cultivation. Without a cultivation at the late Nascent Soul Stage, he probably wouldn't even be able to lay down the next array when refining the materials, just like how Ling Yan didn't know much about refining the crystal sandalwood for the first time, and instead needed Zhao Yu's help in setting up the array formation.

The common metal in the mortal world was useless, as there were too many impurities. The material that a spirit artifact needed was a rare ore, because not only did the refined spirit artifact require a tenacious performance, it also required that one be able to endure the illusions caused by the formation in the vessel. When not in use, it could also be absorbed into the body, nurturing it, and allowing it to sense its owner.

Because to use immortal equipment, one must have immortal energy inside the body of the owner. Immortals are driven by immortal energy, and cultivators can only barely use them after they have transcended tribulation and gone through the baptism of nine heavens tribulation to obtain the body of a half-immortal. To be honest, the world of cultivation doesn't seem to have any immortal equipment, so saying that it's a bit early is a bit too early, and divine equipment … we can talk about it later!

Spirit Treasures also had the ability to change sizes, but it was easy for them to become smaller. They could only become larger through illusions, and the higher one's cultivation level, the larger the body, and the stronger the attack power. However, no matter how big the illusions were, they could still be considered illusions, and now that the crescent moon had become so big, Ling Yan was 100% sure that it wasn't illusions, but was real.

But what does it mean?" The crescent moon is a celestial item? Ling Yan had already denied such a thought before it was clear. A celestial item? What a joke! He couldn't find his way to the north even though he was a cultivator and didn't have any immortal spiritual energy in his body. How could a celestial item recognize him as its master? Ling Yan didn't even think about it. He calmed his mind and stopped thinking about these unfathomable questions. But what was this Crescent Moon up to? Looking at the increasingly terrified expression of Qu You, Ling Yan's heart quivered. He finally understood what the crescent moon was about to do!

Ji Xiaoqian flew over when she saw what was going on. Ji Xiaoran's eyes flashed with a strange light as she said in an excited tone, "Brother, as I guessed, the attack you took from Qu Hu just now had already caused a slight injury. The crescent moon could have sensed that you were injured and appeared to protect you. It is possible that it is not attacking Qu You, waiting for your orders."

Ling Yan nodded with a sigh. He had also thought about this. Not only did his legs feel weak, even his throat felt dry. Just what was this Crescent Moon? This was too … exaggerated. It was actually able to automatically protect its master when its master was in danger. But it seemed that he hadn't refined it before, and had only injected a bit of his true essence into its body! He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He only knew that he would occasionally spit out that scarlet letter and not dare to make any unusual movements, and if the crescent moon really launched an attack on him, Ling Yan did not know what kind of attack it would be, but he absolutely believed that with the power that the crescent moon had displayed, even if it could draw out the might of the Celestial Elephant, the cicada would not be able to survive.

He didn't seem to understand a thing. He didn't have the attribute of a Spirit Treasure, and the inside of the weapon was actually a mess, such a strange thing was actually taken by him for no apparent reason. Ling Yan was depressed and a little angry appeared in his heart, it was fine that he didn't know about it, but since it was able to freely enter and exit his body without the master's call, this kind of "overbearing" behavior made Ling Yan feel like he was being looked.

A bright light flashed, and a pure white pillar of light, as thick as a water tank, shot out from the middle of the crescent moon towards Qu You. Qu Wei raised his head and let out a shriek, which was filled with despair and fear, and his hill-like body only trembled slightly but did not dare to flee from where he stood.

Ling Yan was infuriated. He did not have the time to think and shouted, "Stop!" In the instant that the beam of light was reflected upon the Twisting Firmament Beast, he waved his hands, creating a curtain of light above its head, and without pausing, he pushed his hands towards the Twisting Firmament Beast.

The beam of light touched the light, "Beng!" With a light sound, the light screen disappeared without a trace, and the pillar of light fell down without the slightest pause. Fortunately, the snake had been pushed back a few meters by Ling Yan's true essence, and the light pillar did not reach its head because the coiled snake body formed a trapezoid shape. The snake's body was quite a distance away from the light barrier, and the moment the light beam reached the snake body, it was immediately withdrawn.

Ling Yan knew in his heart that the destructive attack that Crooked Soul had launched against him had been caused by a trace of anger in his heart, but he had misunderstood that the target of that rage was the snake. Fortunately, Crescent Moon also possessed an extraordinary intelligence, and upon seeing Ling Yan save the giant serpent, she promptly retracted her attack, which was enough to wipe out its entire body in the nick of time.

Ling Yan stretched out his right hand as he furiously looked up at the crescent moon, calling out to it in his heart. It was as if Crescent Moon sensed something was wrong. She could clearly sense that Ling Yan's anger was directed at her. With a light cry, the hundred meter wide crystal body began to shake. Not long after that, the dark gray sky started to clear up again.
